World Cup

Oh i must be wrong given im an old fart.
Never mind ill just crawlback in my hole and say nothing

Never listen to anyone with experience,just listen to those who want to be positive but not say what they really saw.

So we are now saying that Tunisia are a real threat,what a load of cobblers

Tunisia are differcult.

I missed the first half yesterday, so wasn't able to put that into the equation but the performance i witnessed second half was awful, littered with mistakes from both sides. I had actually forgotten Kane was playing when he suddenly popped up and scored, which is a sign of a good striker but the half game i saw was very very poor.

Ashley Young the biggest cheat in football

thought we were good 1st half but wasteful in front of goal , well done to HK for digging us out of a hole , rashford must start next game he drives forward and is positive . we should of taken a big man to bring on in the last 10 mins to hit long balls to . this was obvious against iceland and could of done with a andy carrol / peter crouch type last night , we became really predictable 2nd half with players playing it 'safe ' rather than taking there man on , roll on the next game and a win

[The General]

Deserved to win good first half
3 points job done next ..

Quite refreshing to hear studio pundits championing a, quite frankly, laboured England win over Tunisia.

Totally expect England to beat Panama by at least 3 goals before a tight game against the Mussel Munchers

Ronay in superb form.

Except that like many commentators he ignored a vital change, ie Tunisia changing the set up at half time. They switched to man to man with two deep, tight banks of four - they went Iceland. That's why the second half was a different game......

Have to agree, Derry must hate the bas tard

He also missed the midges. Surely they were a factor.

Crap performance, let's face it. Belgium will batter that lot. But England should have 6 points by the time they play them so it shouldn't matter.

[hal9thou]

Crap performance, let's face it.

By comparison with who though? Germany? Brazil? Argentina?

I'm staggered that so many people on here are dissing the side. Almost as though they believe we have a divine right to be belting in four or five per half.

I thought it was an encouraging performance, particularly on the tactical front, although there are a couple of tweeks needed ie:

Negatives: Young is looking his age, Raheem seems to lack composure in an England shirt in the box.

[Stanley]

Results more important than performances at the this stage. Saying that, first 20 minutes we were superb.

We did the job and should have no problems progressing from this group.
